Inaugural Office Convention

What looks to be the first official Office convention is getting underway this weekend in Scranton, PA. From MSN comes this news:

As Michael Scott, the clueless boss on NBC’s “The Office,” would say, “ain’t no party like a Scranton party.”

With that in mind, the city where the Emmy-winning cubicle comedy is set is hosting a weekend blowout for thousands of fans.

The inaugural “Office Convention” promises to be as quirky as the show itself, with highlights including an Office Olympics (Dunderball, anyone?), a character lookalike contest, appearances by cast and crew and performances by the Scrantones, the band that recorded the show’s theme music.

“If people leave here saying, `I had a blast in Scranton,’ then we’ve achieved our goal,” said Michele Dempsey, 35, an architect and Scranton native who came up with the idea for the convention.
